Unable to access Ward and Stake Directories

#1

Post by dtdausey76 »

I signed into the Directories and was unable to get any information for Chico 3rd Ward or any Chico California Stake information and my Wire was unable to access any information as well. We were unable to get a message to our Bishop Bowles. What is wrong with the Church Directories?

This is not the proper thread to post this question as this thread is about the Send A Message tool. However, I don't have rights to move the post.
But to resolve your immediate need, you don't need to log in to obtain the bishop's contact information. Go to the Find a Meetinghouse page and enter Chico 3rd ward in the search box.
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/map ... 2&lang=eng
You will see the bishop's phone number and the address of the meetinghouse.

The directory will only show information about the stake your membership record belongs to. I'm not clear on if you're trying to get information about a different stake, or if your membership records may somehow have been placed in limbo. (The prior ward believes you have moved away but doesn't know where you went.)

I am able to log into LDS.org with my user name and password. But recently, I have not been able to log into my Ward and Member Directory. What do I need to do to access individuals information?

Did you used to with this same account? If so, I'd suggest you talk with your bishop or ward clerk. They may have thought you left the area and moved your records out.

Besides what russellhltn said above, what happens when you try to access the directory? Do you get an error, or does something else happen. Probably more than 70% of the time I try to access it, I get an error message that pops up on the right side of the screen. Then sometimes it works after that and sometimes it doesn't.

Here are some troubleshooting things that are pretty quick:
Try going to the Donations app. Does it list your ward and stake? (Assuming you live in a country where online donations are supported.)
Try going to the Calendar app. Does it work for you and does it show your ward and stake calendars (which may or may not be in use in your unit)?

Also, go to https://account.churchofjesuschrist.org/membership and see if your account is associated with your membership record.

First check to see if your membership record number (MRN) is recorded in your Church Account profile in the Membership section (https://account.churchofjesuschrist.org/membership) as stated in the post before your post. If it is, then contact your ward clerk who can get you the contact information for the Global Service Department (GSD).
